Last week, we dyed yarn and Cheviot roving with highlighters based on a tutorial from Paradise Fibers.  We learned a lot about this technique, but now it is time to see how color fast the highlighters are on different fiber types and how the final yarns turned out.  I will also chat about the pH sensitive yellow fluroescent highlighter.
